Do the myriad sociopathic elite who structure and run civil society live low-stress lives? In the scheme of things, their meat might prove quite good. In the least, we know they are very well-fed…such a rule, applied more widely, might make for a fantastic form of nutritional forage and self-defense. First, let’s distinguish between the vampiric sociopathic elite and the zombified non-sociopathic hordes who mimic them because they’ve been brainwashed into believing that

“If a man has an apartment stacked to the ceiling with newspapers we call him crazy. If a woman has a trailer house full of cats we call her nuts. But when people pathologically hoard so much cash that they impoverish the entire nation, we put them on the cover of Fortune magazine and pretend that they are role models.”

— B. Lester

The sociopathic elite sit at the top of the shit mountain we call civilization, and shit roles downhill. Sociopaths tend not to stress out about either the harms they do to others or the harms done to others, which in this society, are myriad. They do, however, stress out about the harms they perceive others doing to them. Barring prevalent paranoia amongst the sociopathic elite, they might prove quite succulent and tender. Even including the possibility of prevalent paranoia, they still suffer from only one of three potential forms of social stress.

Perhaps we should just start culling such people to the freezer. But they mustn’t know they are being hunted. Apart from ethical questions and sporting conduct, it might spoil the meat.
